| URGENT. 104H To By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}6/MH.{M. Huckerby}7.6.39. We should like you to scheme out an adaption for the Cadillac type of bonded rubber damper on the B.80 engine. The damper, which we hand you herewith, conforms fairly closely to the rating we require; also it should not be difficult to adapt it to the present damper centre piece.
